Re: Fear is no reason to give birth in hospital
Very true Kezza but if women are given confidence in themselves then they may feel a lot better towards it. As it stands, I know a lot of mdiwives who scare women into give birth at hospital, which in my opinion, is just wrong. We were designed for this, we can do it and we should be allowed to choose for ourselves. Nerves and anxiety are expected and I think everyone experiences them to a certain point in pregnancy but if women are reassured and know that there people understand, will support them and answer all questions honestly then I think they wuold feel a whole lot better - cue the midwife...
I understand what you mean though Kezza and it is 100% the womans choice but I feel that if there was more help and information given regarding homebirths then the number of women chooisng it would increase and result in a lot of happier mums. When I say happier, I mean satisfied with the level of care recieved and more positive abut their birth experience as a whole... And we wouldn't hear haf the horror stories we do now...
All we can do is give the information and support and let women choose for themselves...
